Purple Gems, Trimmed and Tangled!
We will color and tangle five different colored gems in three different sizes. Along the way, we'll use nine different tangles to dress them up and show them off. The techniques you learn can be used with other colors, too - there's no end to the beautiful baubles you can create.
You can use Gems anywhere. They're easy and fun to create, and they really dress up your drawings.
